Epic. Question.
First I’d like to be a fly on the wall on a few revolutions, specifically my favorite one, the French revolution. Storming the Bastille and the march to Versaille to be exact. Next, Martin Luther King Jr.’s marches, in Selma and around Alabama. Gandhi’s march to the sea.
The author in me would die to witness some of the greats actually writing. If I could just be a ghost in the room watching Dostoevsky starting or finishing The Brothers Karamazov, or Edgar Allan Poe finishing The Raven. Of course the epic boat ride with Charles Dodgson and Alice Liddell that would become Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland,and I’d love to see him writing and illustrating it too. Truman Capote writing In Cold Blood. So many chills. I could probably spend an entire ghostly lifetime spying on my favorite writers and be perfectly content.
Kurt Cobain writing Come As You Are.
Wouldn’t it also be cool to see the moment your parents met? I feel like that would be something to witness.
I know I’m probably leaving out some massive world moments but I think all of those would give my soul the most joy honestly.
Thanks for your question!
